Remember "Pick-Your-Path" books? Try this modern version!
There are no dice rolls or stats to track. The AI Game Master judges every action you take by the logic of the story — your character's traits and talents, the situation at hand, and the risks you're willing to run. A Clever character talks their way out of trouble where a Brave one fights; neither approach guarantees success. Actions have weight, failure is real, and consequences carry forward. The story is yours to shape, but the world pushes back. Your character can die — not suddenly or without warning, but if you court danger long enough, the bill comes due.

This is cool. As a kid I had so many road trips stuck in the back seat of the car. Mad Libs, the adventure books..the books with that magic yellow marker that would reveal invisible text. Hated it then, miss it now.
Still working on it, testing, but I hated that, even when you started over, everything was so scripted. AI gives us a chance to have be truly different every time we play, and choose our own path the way we wished we could. At this point, the AI is still kind of squishy, patterned, so not much better, I'm afraid. I do like that the story truly develops along the lines of user's responses. Just added instructions to have AI develop an overarching plot, though, so it doesn't drift, and feel like you're just getting what you want from it. Let me know what you like and don't like, and I can make the changes. Thanks!
Something I would like is to export the whole output like a book. Even a text file with line breaks would be fine. I don't know why html output would be preferable?
Done! (AI Helper is fast!) Can now export adventures as interactive HTML, PDF (with pics), TXT, and JSON (to upload). Thanks for the input, and hope you enjoy! Let me know if anything else needs fixing or ideas for additions.
Thanks - I'm having fun with it.
Fixed. You can now view the story in its original book form as an interactive HTML file, when you export it that way. Now I'll add a save as PDF feature, and TXT, as well.
You may have notice I tried to set up HTML export, to be used in a browser, but when I tested it, all I got was a search box I couldn't close. I'm going to work on that right now...
